Callenging the old paradigms

Mr. Von Ward brings a greater view of cosmic possibilities without limiting himself to old metaphysical or scientific views thus bringing the concept of a "new renaissance" in metascience. Relating the ancient Hermetic Principles to quantum physical events, he brings the Hermetic ideas to a new modern level of understanding.His view on the origin of consciousness is inspiring and challenging. He writes: The "river of creative consciousness continually shaping matter and energy never ceases. We paddle our canoe in it taking advantage of eddies and whirlpools ...the challenge is to identify where the paddle of individual intent can be inserted in the flow of life".His hypothesis of advanced beings is analogous to long held notions of the existence of invisible helpful beings and angels. The difference is that he supports his theory with his diverse knowledge (physics, science, psychology and history) thus remaining non-religious in his approach, and free of the new-age pseudo-spiritual beliefs.This is a great book for those appreciating a good challenge and are willing to inquire further into their experience

The First Manifesto of Metascience

"Solarian Legacy" demonstrates a true spirit of open-minded inquiry, and therefore of science, as well as a highly original thinking in its exploration into that which the author terms Solarian Legacy, the "esoteric" story behind and beyond the "exoteric" story that humanity as the solarian, the cosmic being, has thus far developed. This esoteric story, the solarian legacy, which the author develops through his remarkably broad and bold synthesis of science and history, is fascinating and thought-provoking. This book is a definitive work in the grand synthesis of human knowledge, and a "must read" for those who have the courage and curiosity (cosmic curiosity) to venture into the frontier of knowledge and beyond-to the vast horizon of the unknown. The book makes us reexamine what we think we know, and shows us solarians how much, and yet how little, we know, and how much more we can know the universe that we have inherited.Of the many original ideas that fill the space of 300 pages, I have found the author's evolutionary hypothesis to be of a particular interest, which posits the existence of ABs (advanced beings) and their intentional influence over (human) evolution-the existence of intentional exogenous influences over the evolutionary history-explaining the phenomenon of speciation or evolutionary discontinuity (punctuated disequilibrium) that is unexplainable by the standard Darwinian or Neo-Darwinian theories which acknowledge only chance and endogenous influences, not design or intention, or exogenous influences.The author Paul Von Ward is no armchair intellectual. He is moved by a profound love for humanity, and by concern for the future of the planet. In the finest tradition of the Western philosophy, he is a lover of wisdom and a lover of life. This book is the first official manifesto of metascience (the synthesis of philosophy and science), and the author makes himself, through his authorship of this remarkable book, the first official metascientist. I highly recommend this book to all thinking people who are aware, or are becoming aware, of their solarian heritage and of their cosmic responsibility as necessary participants in the evolution of life in the universe.

Solarian Legacy Reclaims Our Multi-dimensional Reality:

Solarian Legacy provides an answer to the fragmentation and alienation of current reductionist thinking which isolates we humans into believing ourselves to be mere on-lookers in a mechanistic universe. Through a wise and comprehensive consideration of the multi-dimensional nature of our cosmic being, Paul Von Ward returns to us our rightful heritage: our Solarian Legacy. We re-discover ourselves as an integral part of and participators in an evolving universe in which we may play a dynamic co-creative role. From his amazingly rich background of experience and study, Paul Von Ward draws together threads of our rich history-universal wisdom of the ages; metascience; evidence of lost advanced civilizations; the role of Advanced Beings in jump-starting new levels of consciousness; the nature of causative mind; untapped human potential; and much more-to open our eyes to a fuller spectrum and perspective of our multi-dimensional reality. Solarian Legacy is "required reading" for all who view the new millennium as an opportunity to take co-creative action in building a New Renaissance of Cosmic Awareness.

A "Tour de Force!"

In less than 300 pages,Paul Von Ward brilliantly and precisely describes our Solarian Legacy. For those of us looking for a new planetary myth which resonates in both the heart and the brain, liberates us from artificial shackles, and evokes our full cosmic potential,"Solarian Legacy" stands alone as the best book of many decades. A treasure to read and re-read over the years, and a wonderful way to gift Friends.Malou ZeitlinProfessional Futurist

Tremendous and satisfying overview of metaphysics.

This is a marvelous global review of the nature of Metaphysics and how it ties all of human experience up neatly with a logical non-self-edited explanation. Furthermore, the author, posits some very original clarifying ideas about psychic abilities that shortcut much of the mumbo-jumbo surrounding such talents. On top of it all he provides an excellent framework for rigorous thought about such talents and, apparently, provides a basis for experimentation in such areas.Reading this book gave me an education in Metaphysics that would have taken years and perhaps decades to otherwise obtain, and provided me with cogent answers to spiritual questions that many are asking today without satisfying results.Fair warning, completing this book required a substantial amount of mental effort as the concepts are cutting edge in the areas of physical, psychological, and metaphysical.Highly recommended.
